Cheryl Tredway

Cheryl Tredway is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas who helps people facing anger, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and addiction. She draws on a practical, down-to-earth style and invites a bit of humor when it fits. Cheryl aims to meet each person where they are and focus on clear goals for change.

Cheryl earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling from Emporia State University in Kansas. She has worked in clinical settings since 2012 and brings about ten years of professional experience to her practice. That time included work with university students, couples, trauma survivors, active duty military, veterans, and people dealing with anger issues.

Her approach blends several well-known methods to match a person's needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced to support emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Cheryl also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, to address traumatic memories. For couples, she draws on principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection. She emphasizes practical strategies so people can try new skills between sessions.

Cheryl describes therapy as a partnership. She focuses on real-life changes and on helping people find ways to manage triggers, rebuild trust, and meet their goals. To begin, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Cheryl Uses Talk Therapy and Skills Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening and following each person's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, introduces concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their concerns, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find skill practice and homework fit more naturally into daily routines when sessions are held remotely. Cheryl will help match the therapeutic plan to practical needs and goals so sessions support real-world change.
